Hunni Ravenwing, of clan Collic - Gully Dwarf (reskinned Kobold) Mage of High Sorcery Hexblade Warlock
Name: Hunni Collic
Character Concept: Brilliant (for a gully dwarf) young Aghar hero with an unusual connection to magic and the ambition to grow beyond her race.
Lineage, Background, Planned Subclass: Hunni is an Aghar, or gully dwarf, Mage of High Sorcery Hexblade Warlock who intends to take the Pact of the Blade at 3rd level.
Description: Small in size, big in personality, Hunni wants to be everyone's friend although not everyone wants her to stand quite so close to them. She is just under four feet tall, weighs a little less than a hundred pounds, has long brown hair that grows on her head and cheeks. Although cleaner than most of her kin, Hunni still breaks out in scabs and sores occasionally, and doesn't smell the best, mainly because she doesn't see the point of washing. She has little concept of 'personal space,' so although she isn't tall enough to get in most peoples' faces, she is usually standing or sitting just a bit too close. Friendly to a fault, Hunni takes most peoples' reticence to get close to her as an invitation to just try harder, and she never wants anyone to feel left out.
Your Character's Plothook: Ispin visited my homeland, bringing with him goods and stories from far-off lands. He taught me much about the world.
Past is Prologue: Hunni came from That Place, an abandoned human village in the Hinterlund, mostly destroyed a long time before yesterday. Hunni didn't know, and still doesn't, what the place was called, or what happened to destroy it. She knew her clan, the Collic clan, and they all knew danger and fear and hunger, although they could usually find enough rats to stick in the stew pots, salvage in the village and hiding-spots when predators came.
Back then, they called it This Place, and her uncle was HighCollic Blurp. Her mother was their shaman, and taught her that there are numbers bigger than two. Eventually, That Place was overrun by dire hyenas, so they had to find a new This Place. So it goes.
It was during this trip that she met Ispin Greenshield. While the clan was migrating, they came across his camp, and shared some stew with him. Although he didn't eat any of it, he was still willing to trade some goods and a lot of stories with the clan, and Hunni developed a bit of a crush on him. She also developed a desire to travel the world, to see the magical towers and fight sea monsters and everything else that Ispin spoke of, even though everyone else thought she was a crazy dwarf who should get her head out of the clouds.
Anyway, travel she did. When they found the new This Place, there was a destroyed tower in the middle of it. In the tower, there were broken statues and bits, traps that had been sprung, tomes that were burned, and rooms full of shattered glass. In the tower, she found a locked door that couldn't be opened, although someone had clearly tried. There were scorch marks in the hallway, and gashes in the stones around the door, but the door was completely undamaged.
Although the door was still pristine, however, the walls around it were not; what force could not do, time had done, and she found a large crack from some earthquake or other had formed, leaving a crawlspace a young gully dwarf could squeeze through. Deciding that she needed adventure, and one was right here, she squeezed in... And met a talking sword that only she could see and that needed her to help it get out of the room.
Now, the sword is inside her. Now, she can throw eldritch daggers, and put the spirit of the sword into her club. Now, she has magic.
It was enough that when her travels led her to encounter the Mages of High Sorcery, they allowed her to become an initiate, despite her bloodline. They taught her how better to control her magics, and her mentor, Julius Wyren of the Black Robes, seemed to think of her as an experimental subject in to what the lesser races could be taught. It was enough that she learned to write, and kept up a sort of haphazard correspondence with Ispin as she studied.
Truths, Rumors, and Lies.
- [True Rumor] Hunni fled her clan to avoid a marriage. (Kopi, son of Dolt)
- [False Rumor] Hunni left her apprenticeship with Julius Wyren due to a spoiled romance.
- [False Rumor] She is currently being pursued by the Mages of High Sorcery as a renegade.
Include at Least Two:
Loyalties: She is a recent initiate of the Mages of High Sorcery. She joined because they had a lot to offer her, when it came to knowledge of the world, and how it worked. It was an awakening, honestly, compared to the worldview of her fellow Aghar. They accepted her mainly out of curiosity, and only because Julius Wyren agreed to take responsibility for her training. She doesn't realize that he did it as an experiment, expecting her to implode quickly.
Deity: This one is strange. She believes, as most Aghar, that Reorx of the Forge abandoned her people. Also like her fellows, she refuses to worship the gods of the other races which regard the Aghar with disdain. Hunni is not at all an atheist, in that she knows the gods are real, but she refuses to worship any of them. Instead, she practices a lazy sort of animism, revering ancestors, who she hopes can help her from time to time. And her Warlock Patron, of course, although she isn't sure what that is, really.
Music: Up to three, hm. Well, I think of her as being her, her patron, and the combination, in a way. She's wild and bright, a bit manic, a bit untrustworthy. The voice in her head is sultry and seductive, and the combination is more of a steady inevitability. I am not sure what the music for those would be, but I am imagining something like these.
Black Betty Her, on her own.
Sweet Jezebel Her Patron, in the back of her head.
Seven Nation Army The Combination, battle sound.
